Book Excerpt

The Storm That Brews Within

“Oh my God, what have I done? Oh, no! No, no!” she sobbed, with the kind of raw emotion which simply shatters your soul.

She looked down; her eyes widened even more in fear. There was blood! She looked at her fingers, her hands. There was nothing but blood! It was red and sticky. It was salty smelling and was dripping and oozing from every single one of her digits. The smell of it, the look of it, and the feel of it on her was making her nauseous.

Her primal instincts, uncontrolled actions, and her ability to do this at all were terrifying to her. She couldn’t imagine how it had come to this! Her breath was coming in ragged gasps, and she was completely shocked at what she was capable of! Her blood was pumping in a crazy, wild rhythm through her veins, making her head pound and her hands shake with pure adrenalin. This wasn’t who she was! This wasn’t who she wanted to be! What kind of crazed animal had she become?
